Saskatoon city council begins a new era today, with fewer council meetings, and a recycled issue that dominated debate heading into the summer break.

Previously, council met in the evenings twice a month. Now it meet just once a month in the daytime. That means packed agendas and long meetings.

Today, a decision is expected on a deal that would keep non-profit Cosmopolitan Industries in the recycling game. The deal is worth millions of dollars and would see Cosmo maintain responsibility for multi-unit recycling in the city for at least the next nine years.

The deal has generated some tense debate in council chambers with arguments for and against the deal.
